Coneflower 'Kismet Raspberry'
Echinacea p. 'Kismet Raspberry'
1 quart pot
 
Each raspberry pink flower lasts for weeks on the compact upright foliage. Blooms early and long! Often a crown of yellow pollen sits atop the large cones like a glowing halo. 
 
Easy to grow and prolific bloomer. Deadheading will prevent seeding, but birds are crazy about the seeds, and the seedheads are attractive in the winter. If removing them, leave the foliage at the base of the plant to overwinter. May be slow to emerge in the spring. Coneflowers generally don't need to be divided, but can be divided in early spring or early fall.
